It Was With Horror That I Learned Of The Abominable Terrorist Attacks On The World Trade Center In New York And The Pentagon In Washington In Which So Many Innocent People Have Lost Their Lives. My Government Staunchly Condemns These Acts Of Terrorism. The German People Are At The Side Of The United States Of America In This Difficult Hour. I Wish To Express My Deep-felt Condolences And Complete Solidarity To You And The American People. Our Thoughts And Prayers Go Out To The Victims And Their Families.

We Made A Decision That Monetary Policy Will Be Made By An Independent European Central Bank.

We Want To Change The Way We Help Unemployed People Find Jobs. We Want To Be Faster And More Goal Oriented.

Take The Military Option Off The Table - We Have Already Seen It Doesn't Work.

Whatever The Details Of Union May Be, There's No Doubt We Need More Policy Coordination In Europe.
